The information below outlines the
marriage requirements for getting married in
Jamaica

Visitors to Jamaica can
be married just 24 hour after arriving in
Jamaica providing prior application has been
made for a marriage license. To apply for
your marriage license, call our Ministry of
National Security at 1-876-906-4908 or visit
the Ministry of National Security.
When Planning a Resort Destination Wedding,
most of the work will be done for you by the
resorts' Wedding Coordinators.

The cost of a license is four thousand
Jamaican dollars (approximately
US$75-US$80).

Unlike many countries, Jamaica does not
expect you take a blood test before getting
married. However, the following
documentation is required:

Proof of citizenship - certified
copy of birth certificate, which
includes father's name.

Parent's written consent if under 18
years of age.

Proof of divorce if applicable
(original certificate of divorce).

Certified copy of death certificate
for widow or widower.

Italian nationals celebrating their
wedding in Jamaica must notify their
embassy and a certified copy of their
marriage certificate forwarded to their
embassy to be legalized and translated.

French Canadians need a notarised
translated copy of all documents and a
photocopy of the original French
documents.

There are
non-denominational Marriage Officers who can
officiate either at their offices, in their
homes or at a place chosen by the couple,
and are able to provide witnesses. Marriage
Officers charge anywhere from US$50 ?
US$250.

Registrars Offices

The registrar's office should be
contacted for specific rules regarding
planning your destination or beach wedding
in Jamaica. They will also provide
information regarding marriage licenses and
marriage certificates.
